When job applications feel like a black hole
Hi there,
We recently received a message from a fresh grad that said:
“I’m tired of applying to jobs on LinkedIn, but I’m not getting any responses. It feels like my applications are going into a black hole.”
She had just completed her degree and was doing all the “right” things, applying daily, tailoring her resume, staying consistent, but still, no one was replying.
If you’re reading this and it feels familiar, take a deep breath and remember this:
“If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember that trees lose their leaves every year. And they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”
You’re not falling behind.
You’re not invisible.
You’re simply in your winter season, a phase of quiet growth before your next opportunity blooms.
Reflection Exercise: This week, instead of asking “Why isn’t anyone responding?”, ask “What can I refine in my approach?”
Revisit your resume, update your LinkedIn headline, and make sure your story is clear and confident. The smallest tweaks often lead to the biggest breakthroughs: check out our proven resume templates that have helped our clients get hired at top MAANG companies.
Because spring always returns.
And so will your momentum.
You’ve come this far, and that already says so much about your resilience and drive.
If you needed this reminder today, you’re not alone.
Hit reply and tell us your biggest job search struggle, we’ll do our best to address it in an upcoming newsletter.
With you every step of the way,
